Ronaldo fired home on the turn to put Real ahead

Despite dominating proceedings early on, Alvaes started to grow into the game as the half wore on.

However, the hosts struck a hammer blow to their opponents by opening the scoring on the stroke of half-time.

A cross from the right fell to the feet of Karim Benzema and his back-heeled pass was perfect for Ronaldo to spin his marker and find the bottom corner from just inside the box before urging the crowd to applaud the Frenchman for his part in the goal.
